Attend Tennessee State University as a Veteran and Walk Away With at Least $2,684

Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefits	$26,108

Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

If you live in Tennessee and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be covered by your Post-9/11 benefits. If you live outside of Tennessee and it has been less than three years since your discharge Tennessee State University will consider you an in-state student anyways and you will be fully covered.

Veteran Tuition And Fees	$9,012
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefit*	$9,012
Total In Your Pocket	-$0
*Note: The tuition benefit is capped at the lessor of the actual tuition charged to you or $20,235.

Remember, some forms of aid such as Pell Grants are awarded in addition to your Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits so be sure to fill out your FASA forms.

Yellow Ribbon Program

It appears as though Tennessee State University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, but we could not determine if there are restrictions of this participation. If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award so check with the college.

Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in a Yellow Ribbon program.

Questions to Ask the Admissions Department

Which programs and majors (if any) participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program and how do I apply?

Per Credit Fees and the Active Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

With a per credit charge for in-state students of $351, Tennessee State University falls above the tuition assistance cap of $250 for active duty personnel.

Below Cap for State Residents?	$351 per credit
Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?	$881 per credit

Almost all public colleges treat full-time non-resident veterans as in-state students. You should check with Tennessee State University to see if that policy is true for part-time students as well.
